Nov. 25
The Holiday Dazzle Light Parade committee has named American Legion Post #13 in Putnam as this year’s parade Grand Marshal.

The 17th annual parade is set to roll at 5 p.m. Nov. 25 in downtown Putnam.
Once again this year, the parade committee will present a “litter free parade.” Before the parade begins, an army of volunteers from High Pointe Church in Thompson will hand out trash bags donated by The Last Green Valley. At the conclusion of the parade, volunteers will walk the parade route picking up trash bags from the crowd and depositing the bags into a town of Putnam Public Works truck.
